Fedeli Financial
Nicholas Fedeli's Fedeli Financial is a single-family office in New York that deploys capital in structured credit, direct lending, and real estate.
Fedeli Financial
The firm was founded by Nicholas Fedeli, a veteran of the structured finance and private credit markets. Fedeli Financial operates as a single-family office built on a foundation of direct investing in asset-based lending, structured credit, and special situations. The office allocates across private credit, real estate debt and equity, and energy infrastructure. Fedeli Financial focuses on direct origination in the lower-middle market, often partnering with family offices and institutional investors in club deals. Confirmed from public records, the firm has co-invested in asset-backed lending facilities, commercial real estate debt, and energy infrastructure projects. Geographic focus is primarily North America, with select exposure to Western European energy transition assets. The office is lean, with a small team of seasoned investment professionals. No additional offices outside New York are publicly documented. In 2023, Fedeli Financial participated in a $300 million structured credit facility for a renewable energy developer, as reported by a trade publication. The firm also maintains relationships with external advisors for deal sourcing and due diligence. A structural differentiator is Fedeli Financial's willingness to hold illiquid, long-duration positions and act as a lead arranger in the middle-market credit space — a role typically reserved for banks or larger credit funds. This posture allows the firm to negotiate bespoke terms and maintain significant control over capital deployment decisions, distinguishing it from passive limited partners in commingled funds.
